As of 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 22, Reddit took down the subreddit discussion of #Pizzagate. Reddit explained the action, saying:
The forum discussion has since been moved to Voat.This community has been banned

One particularly interesting post on Voat shows that a man suspected in the abduction of Madeleine McCann happened to own a "pizza" kiosk":
A witness statement filed with the Leicestershire Constabulary states that a Portuguese man named George from Liverpool, who allegedly owned a pizza restaurant at the resort said that on Friday, May 4th , 2007 at 5:55 a.m., he saw a couple acting suspiciously while carrying a child near the marina. He became a suspect in the abduction of Madeleine McCann once investigators were unable to reach him at the business location. When the inspector arrived, the pizza place had closed.
In the external inquiry report filed by Inspector Joao Carlos, he explains:
The police eventually contacted George, who explained that he had spoken with police at about 6:00 AM on the same day as the witness statement, and they did not pursue any further investigation into George's possible involvement.On this date I went to the abovementioned place with the purpose of gathering elements related to the previously mentioned information about a supposed sighting of Madeleine McCann, by a British individual named George Brooks in the early morning of 4th May 2007.
Once I arrived at the scene, I checked that there was effectively a restaurant establishment on the first floor of the complex, called Pizza Hut. This establishment was closed, because of the opening hours. However, in order to collect information, I went to another establishment called Lite Bites which is next door and where there was an employee, who identified herself as GS, of British nationality.
During our conversation, she said that she has worked there since May of this year, the owner of the space being George Brooks, identified by the enclosed photocopy of his passport, which she provided.
She said that the whereabouts of the owner were unknown since the 21st September 2007. On this date he collected....
Well, this could just be the case of a business owner reporting a suspicious activity, but it is certainly questionable why reddit needed to take down these pages. Maybe there are some secrets that are just too important for the power structure to let out.
This is only the beginning.
